“Dr. Laurence Kirmayer, editor of Transcultural Psychiatry and Director of Social and Transcultural Psychiatry at McGill University, has signed the petition to investigate the University of Minnesota. He writes:

As a psychiatrist, I am deeply concerned about the widespread complicity between the profession and the pharmaceutical industry.”
